Springfield has about a week to bring this thing to market before I buy the S&W Shield....

I would love to see a head to head comparison with the Shield.

Well, thought I'd weigh in with my XD experience. I have the XD9 Tactical and I used it primarily for USPSA competition so it didn't see a lot of slow fire. To date I have 18k+ rounds through it and the only problem was a broken trigger spring around 15k rounds. I change out recoil springs around 5-6k.

Guns require maintenance and springs are gonna break. No big deal.

I too am looking forward to see and touch the XDs.

Yeah, I saw they corrected it. That makes a little more sense.

Mine weighs 21. I think more like 20.9 unloaded.
